A uniform grant application package
for non-entitlement discretionary grant programs is needed to
evaluate and rank applicants and protect the integrity of the
grantee selection process.
This revision estimates reflect
numbers of discretionary grant/cooperative agreement applications
received in the past and the average length of time it takes to
complete the applications submitted. Since generic clearances must
request all three years of burden upfront, FNS plans is to depict
annual estimates and multiple by three-years the lifecycle of the
approval; therefore, FNS is requesting 405,231 total response and
1,058,432.28 burden hours for the next three years.
